Choose three countries from three world regions in the Western
Hemisphere (North America, Latin
America, and The Caribbean). Choose any topic among the
followings, and discuss the topic of your choice in the three countries. You should compare and contrast the topic
among three countries. This time I will give you a significant extra point to
those who synthesize the topic well rather than give separate discussion among
countries.

Write an essay with the minimum 300 word. You may find it
useful to look at the website Federal Research Division Country Studies at http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/. You may
also be able to choose whatever the topic that interests you, but you should
consult me in advance.
